Found this advice on a TechNet discussion thread:

 

  • On each of the server you will also need to go to the Remote App Configuration.
  • Go to the Remote App Deployment settings
  • Connection settings.
  • Change the FQDN to the FQDN of the Farm name

They were using DNS round robin with Connection Broker load balancing, but this also seems to have helped with the load balancing problem in my environment. The connection counts listed in the F5 now appear to match the actual active sessions on my RDS hosts. I'll keep an eye on this for the rest of the day, but I'm optimistic that this is fixed.

 

 

My only remaining issue is the lack of Persistence Records. They're still not being created.
